Can I use Different Fruits in my Fruit Salad?
Absolutely! Please use whatever fruits are in season at your supermarket. There is no wrong way to make fruit salad.
Can I add additional Fruits to my Fruit Salad?
Absolutely! Feel free to add grapes and/or bananas, or other fruits that you like. Tip for bananas, if you’re eating the fruit salad on the same day add the banana. If the fruit salad is going to sit for a day before you serve it, then add the banana on the day you’re serving it so the bananas don’t turn brown.
Can I use a Different Juice?
Yes! If your supermarket does not have the Tropicana Strawberry and Peach juice, please feel free to use whatever variety they have. Tropicana Fruit Punch juice also works great. And if that option is not available, then Orange Juice will work great in this recipe too!
Can I make Fruit Salad – The Short Cook Style into an Adult Fruit Salad?
If your party is adult’s only, by all means, put a little shot of brandy, or melon liquor, or banana liquor, or Peach Schnapps into your fruit salad.
